car battery to prevent short circuits. Check your Crutchfield 

MasterSheet™ (available for most vehicles) or vehicle owner’s 

manual for specific directions. In some vehicles, disconnecting 

the battery may require you to re-enter a security code or have 

the dealer reset the internal computer.
